School Sports
By: Joel C.

One thing some kids lack is their physical abilities. I think this could be improved by having all middle school students being in a school sports. All middle school kids should have the option to play a sport for the school and we should have more of a variety. We should be given more power to what we choose to do. Like voting for next year sports, benefiting the school and keeping us active.

One of the main focuses is the athleticism of so many kids. This could be because of friends or not having enough options. Friends play a big roll because it is better to be on a team oqf people you recognize and know rather than a group of strangers. Friends would support one another and be encouraging. They would ask one another to try a different sport and would cause diversity in the school. If you have never had the option to play the sport you love with your friends you now can.

Another reason that would help us have a bigger variety is if you could vote for the sports you want next year. If there were enough votes to form teams then that sport would be played throughout the district. We will have bigger opportunity and more power to do what we love. Some of us who are from a different place could introduce a new sport or a sport that hasn’t been played in the district. They could have a chance to do what they want to and not something so foreign to them. This would cause diversity in the school.

The last thing to look at is how this will benefit the school. People have to pay for uniforms and for their kids to play sports. Some of the money could go to the school and be used for supplies. Kids now seem like heroes of the school doing what sports they love while raising money! I think we would get outside more and be more active. Parents that want to help their kids can help the school at the same time. Sports are proven to keep the majority of kids out of gangs. There would be fewer bullies around the school. To sum it up this helps the school in so many ways.

These are some of the many ways in school sports will help give the middle schools an enormous advantage. It helps the physical abilities of us gives more power to the students and it even benefits the school. I think this should be considered for the schools so we can have a better district and safer place for all of us.
